Jelly BellyExtreme Sport Beans, Caffeinated Jelly Beans, Cherry Flavor, 24 Pack, 1-oz Each

Used them while cycling for an extra kick. Great favor, nice pick-me-up when work is slow.

These jelly beans are great on long runs! I have been using them for years when training for half marathons, marathons, or just long runs for fun.The instructions say to take a "whole pack" before a run, take as needed during the run, and then take another "whole pack" after the run, however, I tend to just use them as needed throughout the run and fuel up on less portable/less processed foods before and after. I take them on any runs longer than about 1.5 hours (or rarely I will use them to motivate myself on shorter runs when I'm feeling very low energy but have tricked myself in to running anyway). I usually take them starting at 50-60 minutes into my long run and will "reward" myself with 2 jelly beans at a time every 15-20 minutes after this point. The entire pack contains 50mg of caffeine, so I'm not sure the low dose of caffeine is giving me any sort of "energy boost", but the carbohydrates and electrolytes keeps me going, especially when I'm pushing myself for up to 3 - 3.5 miles on a training run, and at 100 calories per pack, I'm getting enough calories to keep up endurance but not over-consuming on the run.I have tried gels and other fruit chews on marathons, but I always go back to the jelly beans because they're not sticky, they're easy to portion, they're pretty affordable, and I prefer the taste. I'd recommend this to someone looking for a carb boost for endurance activities.

I was out west mountain biking...(this Florida Girl)...and all I can say is these beans saved my life! I wish I could tell you a big ass grizzly bear met me on the trail and I whipped out these Jelly Bellys and the bear got distracted while eating them / but in all honesty this is a story of just plain out BONKING in the backcountry then making it back to the parking lot before the vultures began to circle - only because of the these beans. I was delirious...but The sugar and caffeine got me back pedaling back to the lot. Forever Grateful and may be an epitaph one day...Here lies JG...leave jelly bellys instead of flowers...and I just might make it back.

Works as it should

I am really impressed with how it adds electrolites to my body for extra energy, really helps with my fibromyalgia fatigue. I also love the cherry ones they are my favorite. I will purchase again real soon. Thanks, amazon.

These jelly beans are the best for keeping you filled with energy during your runs. I really like these for my speedwork days because they keep my pace up. I absolutely recommend it.

I really love the taste. I ate 2 jelly beans about every 10-15 minutes. They helped me go the distance comfortably.

Most people pop gel packs once every 40 minutes or so, and get an insulin spike and then hit the wall. It is better to eat 30 calories worth of sport jelly beans every mile. Get the sugar into you system and never hit the wall.I bought this because it was the cheapest on Amazon for a 24 pack.They have just the right amount of caffeine for me.The taste isn't great. I like the orange flavor Jelly Belly Sports beans the best. Yum.These taste good when your body needs them because you're running at 6+ mph. I ate a bag once on my commute, because I was hungry, and I was shocked at how horrible they taste when my body isn't glucose-starved.

Didn't find it gave me any extra energy. Would rather drink a cup of coffee or an energy drink.

great flavour and bigger than normal jelly belly.It was perfect for present filler for my Boyfriend.

I did feel the caffeine kick in, but the taste was... something else. They have a very strong acidic flavour.Definitely a unique experience that I'm not exactly rushing to try again.

If you've ever eaten vomit and thought "this could use a hint of cherry" then Cherry Sport Beans are for you!
